I get asked for this Paneer Bhurji recipe so much so I’m finally sharing it with you too ! Hit save so you don’t lose it !! PERFECT to serve for a Diwali Dinner 🥰
Ingredients:
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp butter
1.5 tsp cumin seeds
4 thai green chilis finely diced
1 large onion, finely diced
2 tomato diced small
1 small green bell pepper, cut into medium squares
1 small red bell pepper, cut into medium squares
1.5 tbsp garlic, grated
1 tbsp ginger, grated
1.5 tsp coriander powder
1.5 tsp cumin powder
1.5 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 3/4 tsp salt
16 oz paneer grated or crumbled (I’ve been loving Gopi brand paneer lately)
1/4 cup kasoori methi
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
Directions:
In a large skillet with high side heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and green chilis and once they sizzle, toss in the onions. Cook the onions until they are golden and brown on the edges (do not rush this !) reduce the heat as needed to keep it from burning . Next add in the tomatoes, garlic, and ginger and cook for 4-5 minutes until garlic & ginger are fragrant. Use the back of a wooden spatula to press down on the tomatoes to make them saucy .
Add the remaining spices along with the salt and bell peppers, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add 3/4 cup hot water, mix well and place a lid on the pan. Let this cook, covered, for about 4-5 minutes on medium low heat. Remove the lid, toss in the grated or crumbled paneer, and once it’s mixed well, add in the cream, kasoori methi , chopped cilantro and cook for a couple more minutes. Adjust salt if necessary and remove from heat.
Serve hot with Naan, onions, and a side of dal! Perfect dinner! Send this to someone who could use a recipe that the whole fam will love !!
